So I’m a gadget guy and this also applies to little useful programs for the computer. I also like things to be as efficient as possible at least where work is concerned.
If you often have tons of windows open on your desktop and would like to get them organized, you can do this through a virtual desktop manager. What it does is create several “virtual” desktops. This means you can have a bunch of windows open, click a button and have an entire different set of windows appear—it’s like have multiple computers. I’m using one now called Dexpot and it is at http://www.dexpot.de/. I have one desktop for personal stuff, i.e. My blog editor, personal email, personal web browsing, one desktop for my IT support stuff and another for all my development tools. It’s nice to be able to switch back and forth at the touch of a button. Oh, and did I mention that each desktop can have its own background and icons? Check it out.
As always, use my recommendations at your own risk. Just because they work for me, doesn’t mean they won’t break something on your computer.
